XX. — On a Collection of Fishes made hy Mr. John Graham 

 at Yunnan Fu. By C. Tate Regan, B.A. 



The British Museum lias received from Mr. John Graham a 

 small collection of fishes from the large lake " Sea of Tien," 

 on the north shore of which the city of Yunnan Fu is situated. 

 This lake is at an altitude of about 6000 feet above the sea- 

 level, and its overflow runs northwards by the Pulu-shing to 

 the Yang-tse-kiang. Of thirteen species represented, eight 

 are described below as new to science. The complete list is 

 as follows : — 



1. Cyprinus carpio^ L. 



The two specimens received both lack the anterior barbel *, 

 and should perhaps be referred to a distinct subspecies on this 

 account. Six examples in the British Museum Collection, 

 jrom the Southern Shan States, with large scales, 26-29 — °, 

 may also be regarded as belonging to a geographical race or 

 subspecies. 



2. Barhus Grahami, sp. n. 



Depth of body 3| times in the total length, length of head 

 S| times. Snout nearly twice as long as the eye, the diameter 

 ot which is 5f times in the length of head and 1^ times in 

 the interorbital width. Mouth subterminal, maxillary not 

 extending to below the eye. Two barbels on each side, the 

 anterior f, the posterior nearly ^ the length of head. 



* Some of the specimens figured in Reeve's drawings of Chinese fishes 

 Lave apparently no anterior barbel.
